How soon till Sony realizes what money sink have they created

>New mascot is called Luden, it's a man in a space suit (space suit = freedom)

>Paid a top Japanese visual company to do the 30 second trailer for their logo

>Toys are available to buy now, please buy our toys and make fanart

>The game? Oh we've nearly finished the engine

>tfw you realize Kojimbo is better at marketing storytelling than executing it

I don't foresee this behaviour giving him any financial trouble

Didn't he say they used his face for Luden's? How shamelessly self-absorbed can you get.

...

The guy must think he's Japanese Stanley Kubrick or something.

It's like the NFL. You can beat your wife, get busted for drugs, and even miss practice for a murder trial. Yet only if you are one of the top five players in the nation.

What kind of medieval space garbage is this

he is a business man, not a game maker

>mascot is super complex

Yeah, that's not how mascots works Mr.Kojimbo.

He was right all along.

>when you realize that classic MGS games were written by Fukushima and that gameplay was designed by Shinkawa and probably other people

>When you realize that the only character Kojima wrote is Otakon

Sony can afford to have a money sink as the PS4 prints money. They've literally been buying gamer goodwill for a few years now.

Do you think they expect to make any money from Gravity Daze 2? Nope but it buys them nerd cred

Sony has been fucking up on multiple fronts, from Ghostbusters onwards. If No Man's Sky fucks up they might look at Kojimbo with more scrutiny.

Kojima's spergs have proven him right.

KO Gaming still took off, lol

lol, you're delusional.

Sony Pictures makes money. The profitable bit is the TV part - they own Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Sony Pictures was doing well when the rest of the company was bleeding money.

And they can afford to throw money away on 1st party titles. They just need a few hits (Gran Turismo, Uncharted) and the occasional surprise hits like Ratchet or Until Dawn. Then bundle the flops with PS4s and discount them via PSN until they make their money back. They only need to break even to make it a worthwhile exercise - the real profit is through market share and PS+, not 1st party games.

Sony is probably in the best position they've been in in about 15 years.

Literally Japanese Tim Schafer

>Sony Pictures makes money

not on Ghostbusters
or Spiderman
or many of their big budget projects

At least Schafer wrote his own games

huh,, i thought the ghostbusters 2016 actually did well in the boxoffice?

It did below the production budget

That doesn't begin to cover the other half, the gender war marketing budget

It'll probably break even in another week or so. So yeah, not the runaway hit Paul Fag was banking on.

It doesnt matters if he becomes a money sink, he's Hideo Fucking Kojima, that's all they need to convince people to get a PS4 cuz Kojimbo.

On the Sony Conference people lost their shit when Kojima made his appearance.

Trojan Maannn!

>mfw Kojima almost ruined Konami because of his bohemian spending on MGS V
>mfw Kojima now ruins Sony because they won't cut his spending like Konami did

It's currently at less than HALF its budget in money, while sharing a theater with the new star trek. Even if id was the best selling home release in ten years it won't break even.

Didn't Amazing Spider-Man make a gorillion dollars?

3 years from now, Sony will go to Japanese Schafer and ask for some actual game footage, JapSchafer will panic and start throwing some shit together and the actual game will release unfinished, over budget, and disappointing in 2021

Both were such a blunder that Sony better sold IP back to Marvel.

Kickcucker will still net him a lot of cash if that happens

Daikatana 2: japanese boogaloo

They didn't though, they're collaborating. Sony still makes money on any solo Spider-Man movies.

Sony does not make real money from exclusives
Exclusives are only a marketing device to sell more consoles
Kojima is pretty good at this even if the game never comes out people wont stop talking about him

>people fell for the Konjima

fucking lol man

he looks good for his old age, does he even have a son or is he part of japans problem of men not getting japanese women pregnant? nips are the biggest faggots on the face of the planet, if you ever live in japan or visit you'll scratch your head wondering why those goddesses arent being impregnated.

This. And that's how it should be. It's why Sony creates all sorts of weird shit.

He's hyping up his business? Why is this a problem?

Sup Forums still butthurt from mgsV?

>i'm making a new game
>they haven't even finished the fucking engine the game will be using

the game will be out by 2020, at the least

in other words, its literally NOTHING worth hyping

But people are still incredibly interested and stuff like this gets people even more interested. Do you know to hype user?

>you will never bludgeon kojima to death

Guess what nigger I'm still going to buy whatever he puts out just to see if it's good

>they haven't even finished the fucking engine the game will be using

I havent been following the game at all because of kojima being outed as a hack but why would they make yet another engine? The fox engine was nothing special and only served as a business strategy/ kojima dickriding himself, the phantom pain would be 100x better on something like cryengine

you would imagine kojimas lackeys would simply use an engine from SONY such as the one uncharted uses

>Look mom, I'm shitposting!

As far as i know the only harm kojima deserves is a swift kick to the balls for MGS2.

I for one decided to ignore the big boss saga.

Lets see how DS comes, also i hope kojima gets the rights for a figma or a SHFiguart of ludens.

You must be trolling

Say what you like about the story, the FOX engine for mgsv was absolutely phenomenal for gameplay

cryengine is unoptimized trash

>tfw DSP was right this whole time about kojima dickriders giving him a free pass on LITERALLY EVERYTHING

CONMAN
O

They're not making an engine.

They're currently testing gameplay in two existing engines to see which suits what they're trying to do with the game the best.

I heard he made changes to peace walker so his son would like it.

>giving him a free pass on LITERALLY EVERYTHING

any facts to back that claim?

Not him, but you'll find very few people on Sup Forums that can do simple number crunch and realize Konami gave Kojima everything and he still failed to deliver.

>#FucKonami is a thing and not #FucKojima

No wonder Konami is going full Jew.

Try to criticize MGS V and you'll see people swear up and down that it's not Kojima's fault that the game is empty is lifeless, it's not his fault that Chapter 2 is almost entirely one big fucking rehash, it's not his fault that the game is unfinished, etc etc IT'S ALL KONAMI, THEY'RE A BIG EVIL PUBLISHER. Kojima had five fucking years and a budget of $80M and it was still unfinished. But no, it's not Kojima's fault.

And everything with Death Stranding at this point is literally kickstarter tier; they haven't chosen an engine, they have no gameplay to show, and all we have is Kojima waxing about this and that. We know next to nothing about the game AND THEY'RE SELLING FUCKING TOYS ALREADY? If this was anyone else, people would be upset, but again, Kojima gets a free pass to be the new conman.

It's also funny how people using Steam and Battlenet have the lack of self awareness to call out Konami for making a Pachinko machine or two.

Konami deserves hate for their employee mistreatment and deleting PT.

It really feels like you don't know how games are made.
As soon as they have settled on an engine the game will go into full production. Right now they are testing out gameplay in the different engines but that really doesn't mean that the game is vapor.
The mere fact that they already have game assets is the big tell that the game is coming along.

Yeah, just like MGS V came along, before the decade was done!

what movie?
230 million? really?
I thought they said that they were able to do a lot of effecient handeling of movie production.

got this pic without the daydream?

I think studios and publishers are out of touch with good game making. Good games aren't dependent on their budget. They're dependent on how they appeal to gamers.

Kojima wants to make lavish, movie games but they don't ever and have never sold highly. Even the best among them. It's stupid to spend so much when the core audience never expands beyond the die hards.

>movie games

those games are called FMV games and were a thing 20 years ago

cheap too

>the FOX engine for mgsv was absolutely phenomenal for gameplay

youre a fucking retard, the "gameplay" has nothing to do with the fox engine itself

the engine is apparently good for developing on multiple different platforms but thats hardly a feature that I should give a fuck about as a customer with up to date machines

Kojima definitely deserves at least some doubt for MGSV.

But, do you really believe Konami is innocent?
After all those bad working conditions reports?, after burning connections with the fans or even outright denying them?, after EROTIC VIOLENCE and HIT THE LEVER?

Kojima may have fucked up, but anyone that believes the people at Konami are innocent is just a contrarian retard...

They don't own his company, just the publishing rights to that single game Death Stranding or whatever the fuck it's called.

Kojima takes way too much credit for the work what other people do

You don't see bethesda games saying A TODD HOWARD GAME or obsidian games saying A CHRIS AVELLONE GAME

>How long

Until he's spent over 5 years and over 100 million and only has 3 out of four chapters completed.

>MGSV sales cover the budget multiple times
>People still argue Kojima isn't profitable

He conceives the original idea of his games and directs them. They're very much HIS games.

Don't be one of those faggots who can't give credit to people simply because they're overrated.

He don't own the money he gets from them

Past glories, user

You think Schafer would get the same amount of kikestarter money in hindsight?

I dont really understand some of the shit konami does though, something like KILLING LE CHILDREN seems like it would sell more copies than PROTECT MUH CHILDREN with you being unable to shoot child soldiers when people discovered with some digging that theres a hardcoded -500 heroism for killing them upon removing the mission failed trigger

the development hell in retrospect is almost comical

He has a son,there's a picture of his family out there

>(space suit = freedom)

Huh?

>they don't ever and have never sold highly
What? MGS always sold incredibly well.

You can piss whenever and wherever you want. How is that not freedom?

That doesn't even fucking make sense.

MGSV development was cut short as should be evident by P.T. getting cancelled.

Most of the MGSV development doubles as Fox engine development which in turn has been used on other games than MGS.

How long until we can make a pic relate version for Kojima?

He can do whatever he wants as long as he keeps making NOTsilent hill.

It's way above half it's budget and by the time the international numbers come in it'll probably have made money. Why do people lie when the facts are so easy to look up?

Of course Konami isn't innocent but they firing him out of nowhere for no reason also doesn't make sense, for all of his faggotry Kojima can still bring in money so the reason he was fired was something far more than just spending the budget like a screaming retard, he either had a mismanagement fuck on a biblical level or something else.

Both parties are to blame here but for once I'm not siding with the creator, Kojima, because Konami being the ultimate jews would not fire a money maker, the whole pachinko bullshit isn't really a excuse since japan is now starting to crack down on that too so much that SNK started going back in full force to videogames

>MGSV development was cut short as should be evident by P.T. getting cancelled.

How in the hell is anything evident from that

PT got cancelled because the gook was going MGS V: extra cash edition on it

kojimafags justified a 50€ demo to begin with

Konami was basically "We're going to make people pay for demos and cut games to sell expansions, and if you don't like that, fuck you"

Kojima didn't like that. And it's weird that he got fired since he said he was interested in making episodic games. Maybe P.T. was meant to be episodic?

>Konami was basically "We're going to make people pay for demos and cut games to sell expansions, and if you don't like that, fuck you"
Got some source on that you goddamn drone

Kojima told me last week

>he's making ANOTHER engine that will be functionally the same as Cry or Frostbite
>for the second time

Red flag

Kojima literally cut the ending of TPP to sell it later.

Konami* I fucked up with the similar naming

It was just unfinished user

Accept it.
It's not coming.

>Konami literally cut the ending of TPP to sell it later.
GOT
PROOF
OF
THAT?
Why did they release it together with the game then and then said they would not make any story dlc?

Well it is called kojima productions after all. I'm far from a huge fan but overall I think it isn't a bad idea. If we start recognizing the importance of video game developers a little better, they'll stand a better chance against the corporate suits. I tend to believe that kojima tied his name to mgsv so hard because he felt the tides turning and either he thought it would protect him or at least he thought he would get his due credit for the game. Think of movies, there are hundred of names tied with LotR but above all you remember peter jackson.

He's not though.

GZ exists because Kojima had already been working on TPP for 3.5 years at that point and had a half finished engine and a single map to show for it. He was literally causing the company to bleed money

>kojimadrones in charge of providing proof to their claims

Why did they let Kojipro build another engine anyway? They built one for MGS4 and it seen use in ONE game and it wasn't even optimised well

Whose fault will it be when it happens again, then? Sony? Maybe the dirty partners at KojiPro?

Accept that the man was a one trick pony, Fukushima was the one with all the talent at Konami at the time. Kojima can't even direct a scene and that's what he thinks he's good at

conman

But I asked for proof

Did you forget that Kojima was the vice president of Konami? They couldn't say no to him when he screamed

>Did you forget that Kojima was the vice president of Konami? They couldn't say no to him when he screamed
In hindsight, I'm surprised he lasted long after MGS4 in that case. I wonder why he wasn't forced out sooner, he clearly has no business sense.

*His wive's son

Every game Kojima made after MGS was a result of him taking criticism like a bitch. I'd love to go in to detail but I'm tired and I'm on my phone.

Just know that Kojima has no backbone and backs down or outright builds a game around an idea because someone criticised him and his ass pain wouldn't go away until they proved that person wrong. MGS3, 4 and TPP are the prime examples
